What is a mutual fund?

In simple terms, a mutual fund is an investment product that pools money from many different people to invest in a portfolio of stocks and/or bonds. Funds are managed by professionals who decide which stocks or bonds to buy, and investors benefit from the performance of the portfolio. Mutual funds typically earn higher returns than a traditional savings account, between 5% and 10% depending on the type of fund*.

Mutual funds are designed to fund long-term financial goals like saving for a child’s college education or retirement. They may not be right for you if you will need your funds within five years. They may also not be right for you if you do not wish to take on any investment risk, or if you are unwilling or unable to withstand fluctuations in the value of your portfolio.

Saving versus investing

The rate of return matters. Even if you are a consistent saver, due to the impact of inflation, you could still be losing purchasing power. This means that the rate of return on a typical savings account is not enough to account for the rising cost of living. So, while it is important to save, it is even more important to get the best possible returns on your money. This is the difference between saving and investing and is illustrated in the table below. By making monthly contributions of $200 into a mutual fund for 10 years, you could significantly increase your earnings and create a more stable financial future.

*Assumed rate of return based on the historical performance of different investments. Actual returns may vary.
